Not a trial, not a limited tier, not free-because-you-are-the-product. Here is exactly what that means and what it does not promise.
Free · no subscriptionWorks offlineNo account · no tracking
All of it. Every feature described anywhere on this site is available without paying: the offline maps, the photo scan, the regions, the collections, the seals, the time machine, the PDF travel books, the share cards and every export format.
There is no counter that stops you at ten trips, no watermark on an export, no feature behind a crown icon and no trial that quietly ends. Nothing on the list above is a paid upgrade.
A subscription pays for something that costs money every month, and in most travel apps that something is a server holding your trips. Voymark runs no server that holds your trips. Your record lives in the app's own storage on your phone, so there is no monthly bill to pass on to you.
The maps are the same story: borders, labels and region outlines are files shipped inside the app rather than tiles rented from a provider by the request. That is what makes offline the default rather than a premium feature.
There are no ads in the app, no advertising identifier — the apps do not read one at all — and no data broker on the other end of anything. Nothing you record is ever sent to us. The apps do ask, once, whether you want to send anonymous usage statistics and crash reports; the honest answer is that some people say yes, nothing is sent unless you do, and the privacy policy lists every field.
That is checkable rather than a promise: put the phone in airplane mode and everything except satellite tiles and name search keeps working, because the maps, the counting and the photo scan have no other side to talk to.
Not "free forever" — nobody can honestly promise that about software that has to be maintained for a decade. What the terms actually say is narrower and worth more: every feature is free today, and if paid features ever arrive they will be new capabilities. Nothing you already have gets taken away and put behind a price.
The safeguard is not our good intentions, it is the export button. Everything you record leaves in CSV, GPX, KML, GeoJSON, a full backup or plain readable text, so the worst case is that you take your record and go.
Yes, and not in the limited-tier sense — every feature is available, with no trial period and no locked sections. There is no account to create, so there is not even a sign-up standing between you and the app.
None, and no advertising identifier is read either — so nothing about you is available to sell to an advertiser even in principle.
We never receive them. Your trips, photos links and stamps are written to your device and nowhere else, so there is no copy on our side to sell, lose or hand over.
Possibly, for capabilities that do not exist yet — that is what the terms commit to. What will not happen is a feature you use today moving behind a price. And if it ever did, your whole record exports in open formats, so nothing is held hostage.
They stay on your phone, because that is where they always were — nothing switches off when a server does. Export a backup and a plain-text copy now and you hold a readable record that needs no app at all.
